satisfactory

[warm remnant]

ye, but still i wonder if it is worth or i should have enough of copper anyway

[ornate saffron]

I got it from Tools. Youd have to ask there Discord or greeny

[zealous coral]

so if one gives 100 that means ur grid is now at 1100, the next will give 10% of 1100 right

instead of 10% of 1000

[normal orbit]

no

[distant pilot]

Nope, the boosts are added linearly

[zealous coral]

ook

[normal orbit]

they each add 10% or 30% if boosted on your produced power, they dont boost themselves (aside the 500mw they give, but that is produced power not boosted power).

[distant pilot]

So two boosted augmenters in a 1GW network will make it go to 1.6GW (1+0.3+0.3) not 1.69 (1*1.3*1.3)

[zealous coral]

is making 15 radio control units/min enough

[plush trellis]

I hate the habit I have of when I change or redirect my stuff… I NEVER CHECK IF IT FULLY CONNECTED

[distant pilot]

Enough for what?

[unkempt blade]

this is why power augmenters are a way worse investment than geothermal power

[zealous coral]

an average run idk

[distant pilot]

But like

[unkempt blade]

whoops, stray mention 😆

[distant pilot]

What do you wanna use them for?

[warm remnant]

why?

[distant pilot]

Because one nuclear pasta takes two, and one turbo motor takes as many as 3 depending on your recipe

[zealous coral]

nvm dumb question

[normal orbit]

what? they're not mututally exclusive

[unkempt blade]

filling factory carts so they have a purpose besides just looking cooler than any other vehicle

[warm remnant]

they used 10 somesloop right?

[distant pilot]

Not dumb, just a bit vague

[distant pilot]

Yep

[zealous coral]

i love oc supercomputer tho

[distant pilot]

And supplying just one with power matrices is 15 power shards, 15 fluctuators, and 15 superposition oscillators per minute

[normal orbit]

make as much as you need, if you find you need more, then make more

[unkempt blade]

geo produces way more per sloop used to make its machine therefore it's better

[distant pilot]

It’s definitely nice to use for personal supercomputer production once you have aluminum stuff being made

[warm remnant]

i guess i still might build one to build it

[normal orbit]

tf you on about?

[distant pilot]

I’m just saying that you may want to consider what else you need that aluminum for, given how hard it is to get compared to even caterium and oil

[unkempt blade]

1. I've defined best as the power per sloop used to build it
2. I've determined that geothermal is infinitely better than power augmenters

[distant pilot]

It’s nice to do for fun, and I did it alongside my fisconium fuel production so they can share dark matter residue

[distant pilot]

But geothermal doesn’t use any sloops, unless that’s your point

[zealous coral]

for osme reason my oc supercomputers are sloopsed when i only need 3/min so i have 2 extra for no reason

[unkempt blade]

yeah that's my point, that's why it's infinitely better

[cedar iris]

I know you did (I use it too)

[distant pilot]

And geothermal is a flat boost, whereas the 10 or 30 percent from power augmenters will apply if you’re making 1GW or 100GW

[unkempt blade]

and not "some finite multiple better"

[normal orbit]

flat huh

[unkempt blade]

it's a wavey boost but otherwise I agree with you for the rest 🙂

[distant pilot]

Oh right lol

[cosmic apex]

the graphics for coal generators are really helpful for distributing the water evenly, but how should i go about distributing the coal?

[distant pilot]

Just a chain of splitters like any other machine

8 coal generators is 120 coal per minute of demand

[cosmic apex]

alr thx

thats just 1 mk2 belt, right?

[normal orbit]

yes

[cosmic apex]

alr thx guys

[past dune]

hey folks, does anyone know of a mod, like a magic wand, or anything else, that i can just click in direction of a fluid storage, and it fills it.?.

[plush trellis]

Pipes doesn’t work up but then do work down a mountain?

[past dune]

work up with a pump..

u could make them go through the mountain also..

[plush trellis]

No I need stuff to go down a mountain. I was just checking that I wouldn’t need pumps because of gravity just pulling it down

[real shale]

I am alive

I think

[past dune]

but fluids follow gravity down, but gas work at any levels

[rocky radish]

Hello everyone

[rocky radish]

Good bye

[random haven]

Cant decide for early game (just got coal power) should I do alternate rotor recipe or screw recipe?

[rocky radish]

You know

I have alternative srew and alternate

[zealous coral]

try get rid of screws from your builds entirely

[real shale]

Whichever you think will be more useful to you

Screws are fine, just takes a different approach to logistics than other builds.

[random haven]

Recipe I got for rotors needs copper sheets and 52 screws.

[cosmic apex]

so there is this big ass boulder on top of the coal node i need

how do i get rid of it?

[zealous coral]

blow it up

using explosive rebar or nobelisk preferably

[cosmic apex]

whats the thing you unlock first and when do you unlock that

[ornate saffron]

MaM sulfur branch

[zealous coral]

nobelisk

u unlock it by researching sulfur pretty early in the mam

its like a bomb

[cosmic apex]

damn, have almost not touched the mam at all

ill check it out

[zealous coral]

u need to trust its so helpful

[ornate saffron]

I would prioritize the MaM the games bread and butter is in there

[zealous coral]

especially caterium

[plush trellis]

Ladies and gentlemen and those in between! I am now transporting LIQUID!

Via a train

[real shale]

Why not via truck

Wait I'm not in experimental, how did I get here

[plush trellis]

Not a big fan off trucks and I have train autism teehee

[real shale]

I am now a fan of trucks in 1.2

[cedar iris]

anyone get upset when you have many of one building on your to-do list and you have to keep replacing one so the counter goes down a lot even though you have only placed one where you want

[hearty marlin]

can i get the jetpack as soon as phase 3 of the elevator?

[cedar iris]

yes

motors, a bunch of iron plates and cable

[real shale]

you unlock it in tier 5

[cedar iris]

phase 2

not phase 3

[real shale]

no its phase 3

first milestone of phase 3 actually

[cedar iris]

right

whatever the devs did to building snapping needs to be undone

i have to aim at the ground for them to snap and not the building itself anymore :(

[junior jolt]

60 motors per minute needs 1500 screws

i dont enjoy my ambition

[cedar iris]

what mk belt do you have

[junior jolt]

4

[cedar iris]

shouldnt be too bad

[junior jolt]

so its not too bad

[cedar iris]

a minimum of 4 mk 4 belts isnt bad

unless its over a great distance

[junior jolt]

more about doing the constructors cos my first playthrough aah doesnt like lots of constructors a t once

[cedar iris]

what do you need all the rotors for?

[junior jolt]

I just want to be able to not worry about motors for a while

rotors for motors

[cedar iris]

i am making 20 per minute

[junior jolt]

yeah... i found a pure copper and decided the smart thing was to go off that

[cedar iris]

and thats like plenty for me when its at 100% production

[junior jolt]

ive already done the stators

i mean i know im gonna have to tear it down at some point anyway

literally going for trains to go straight for turbofuel

[cedar iris]

make it fancy but not horribly fancy

[junior jolt]

no proper oil yet

[cedar iris]

you can zoop walkway corners now aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[junior jolt]

i forgot the image oops xdd

[junior jolt]

woah

[hearty marlin]

so its not in the MAM

[junior jolt]

the answer is t navi

i saw your message luckily

OCD loves and hates this game

[mellow canyon]

I have 15 minutes to switch to coal or I go boom, wish me luck guys

[junior jolt]

kinda free if you have the resources

get the resources for one

build one and do it modularly

@mellow canyon

[little timber]

Good luck

[junior jolt]

if you run the water pumps behind in a way that doesnt obstruct water or coal input, or future coal power plants

[crisp barn]

so, how exactly were liquids fixed in 1.2?

the only thing related to them I saw are the trucks

but I dont see how its related to the liquids themselves

[junior jolt]

you can put liquids into truck stations

i think its a new type of truck stations

[crisp barn]

I know, but wasnt the whole deal with liquids that its hell to work with them

things like sloshing for example

[real shale]

#satisfactory message

[crisp barn]

so they didnt actually fix anything?

[real shale]

They are only hell to work with if you make them hell to work with :P

[modern quiver]

Hey coming in here to say I miss Jace and Snutt

that is all

New community managers are doing a great job, its not like they are worse i dont mean to imply that at all i just miss those two in a wholesome way heh

[crisp barn]

idk, when I have 600 input and 600 output, with all pipes prefilled, I would expect it to work on any setup, be it manifold or something else

but it doesnt

I spend like 20 hours trying to fix it

[elder oracle]

I need to fix my power outage rn in my factory

[feral jay]

psht, just handcraft everything

[elder oracle]

I can’t do that cuz that’s way too many items

[real shale]

That's because this game has fluid physics, the rule of thumb for fluids is KISS, don't overcomplicate it, just point A to point B none of this split here, merge here etc etc

Manifolds work best because that's what the physics work best with

[prime basin]

KISS?

[real shale]

Fluids in general just hate load balancing, it's doable, but it's unruly more complicated

[crisp barn]

the only splitter I had where the ones to go to the outputs

[feral jay]

Keep It Simple, Stupid

[real shale]

"Keep it Simple Stupid"

[crisp barn]

and the manifolds were the ones that didnt work

[prime basin]

ah, i was missing the "stupid"

[real shale]

Well I don't know how that happens, because fluids in manifolds should work more times than load balancing

[crisp barn]

neither do I

[real shale]

An unruly anecdote would be me having a single load balanced pipe in my fuel power plant causing me to lose 15 GW, putting into manifold immediately solved the issue.

If you are having fluid troubles I highly recommend looking at the plumbing manual

[distant pilot]

Alternatively you could package/unpackage fluids and load balance the corresponding belts they go on

[little timber]

I was just thinking about the plumbing for the powerplant and im not excited about it

[distant pilot]

Ofc that’s pretty space intensive but it’s an option if you don’t want to deal with fluids that badly

[real shale]

On the flip side, we did get train platform and freight car capacity buffs for fluids specifically

[distant pilot]

A shame they still haven’t fixed platform belt/pipe connections stopping when a train is docked

[rare lintel]

my lizard doggos got completely glitched

i put them down

😢

pretty tragic man

[feral jay]

This is probably the best simple explanation of fluid sloshing in manifolds I've seen https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/1hh8lxn/slosh_101/

[rare lintel]

gotta find new ones

[feral vector]

how much stuff should I keep? like overproduction from early automation. I have like 2 storage containers of screws, 2 of cables, 2 of iron plates, 1 of iron rods. keep one container of each and feed the rest into the awesome sink?

like I know I'm gonna need more screws than I can even imagine but I figure I'm gonna automate them in a production chain not feed them from an old storage container lol

[lavish lance]

fastest smite i ever saw

0.01 seconds world record

[feral jay]

I wouldn't bother keeping screws, they're not really a construction material. But it's a good idea to keep a couple containers of concrete and iron plates and rods around, probably cable and wire too

[little timber]

Keep them sometimes i i run low on screws for production of something and just merge a whole container of them till i can build another production line of screws

Same goes for the others

[feral jay]

good point

Definitely don't sink them if you already have a few containers

[feral vector]

hmm when should I start sinking stuff then I still haven't used that mechanic at all

[feral jay]

The best time was when you unlocked the awesome sink. The second best time is now.

[feral vector]

so do I save this stuff or sink it lol

[little timber]

Save it, find some nodes u dont need now and sink their output

[feral jay]

Ohh, once you've got a couple of containers, sink the excess

[feral vector]

I think the only think I'm actually overproducing in a production chain right now is iron rods

[unkempt blade]

it's worth the same points no matter when you sink it, there's not exactly a rush 🙂

[feral jay]

Yeah, sink all the overproduction

[little timber]

Make an overflow line to the sink

[feral vector]

ohhhh wtf you can just set up a miner directly into a sink?

this game is making me feel like my critical thinking skills are very lacking lmao

[feral jay]

You can sink everything but liquids, with a few exceptions like rare collectibles

[little timber]

And nuclear waste unfortunately

[feral vector]

ok it was just going to storage for now

[unkempt blade]

gotta turn off discord and give them some exercise

[feral vector]

having some hints is helping me I think XD

[sleek halo]

Guys is nuclear waste into plutonium waste into nothing worh it?

[feral vector]

I would literally never have thought of a miner directly into a sink

[green fiber]

last step too expensive

[feral jay]

@feral vector you should also consider setting up a line or two just to sink it all, concrete is great for that in the early game

[feral vector]

first factory game idk wtf is happening

[sleek halo]

I can hrlp

R u able to lke vc

Even if ur muted i can talk and u reply in chat idk

[feral vector]

it's ok I'm progressing well enough I just have random questions I pop in to ask

[sleek halo]

k

[feral vector]

I found lots of guides and stuff I'm just trying to figure stuff out

thank you though I appreciate it

[sleek halo]

np!

[feral vector]

hmm I've been hoarding all my concrete, I had two impure nodes just making concrete since super early game

[rare lintel]

what do the nukes do better then the regular nobelisks

[sleek halo]

It does make radiation

[little timber]

Same dude dw, you will learn a lot by yourself

[rare lintel]

that doesnt seem alot better

[sleek halo]

Bigger radius aswell if ur playing coop thats better

[little timber]

Cluster nobelisks are peak

[sleek halo]

Or use shockwave and u can gain alot of momentum using jetpack

[little timber]

Or or build a hyper tube cannon blueprint

Slap it anywhere

[wild hollow]

The input lag is getting really bad even though I have all settings on low, is my computer just too slow to run the game properly or am I missing something?

[marsh kelp]

Hey guys! I need sum inspo for my factory design . I would like to connect the bottom of my factory with the ground terrain, but I want to use something else than pillars. What do u guys usually do in these cases? (my factory is basically floating atp)

[hybrid pewter]

Overextend walls and add depth

With foundations sticking out in places that would have pillar otherwise

Am bad at design tho

[marsh kelp]

Me too unfortunately

[next folio]

Guys, im going to start a new satisfactory world, should i go with a ordened design? or should i go clipping things like i dont care

[hearty marlin]

i need some help with my coal generators

[marsh kelp]

I usually use go this way, but I want something new rn

[hybrid pewter]

I always start doing some design to one factory and then I leave it for later (never)

[next folio]

the answer, dont do them, js, do a lot of biomass burners, get a chainsaw, easier and less bothering than coal generators

[wild hollow]

Are you okay with the bottom of your factory being an empty space? If so, you could build verical foundations around the perimiter all the way to the ground. I've recently gotten very fond of using 1 meter walls to remove some of the ugliness from walls.

[sleek halo]

Yeah

[feral jay]

A screenshot and a posst in #1038092680493801533 would be a good idea

[marsh kelp]

@hybrid pewter haha real

[hearty marlin]

bad joke

[sleek halo]

Not a joke tbh

[next folio]

why a bad joke? is what i do

easier than transport water, coal, manage everything, to much effort

[hybrid pewter]

Well coal energy is introduction to what will come later

[hearty marlin]

yeah then ur wasting ur time running around the map chopping trees

[hybrid pewter]

U don't want to skip on that

[sleek halo]

Js get alottttttt of wood and leaf then put an inteligent separator to create biomass

[next folio]

what am i, on a desert? js go to the forest and chop a few trees and done

[hearty marlin]

eventually it will end, coal wont

[marsh kelp]

thx

[sleek halo]

It will end yes in sum hours

[unkempt blade]

what does javascript have to do with biomass?

[wild hollow]

What I like the most about biofuel generators is that they don't overproduce, so if you spam them on a single grid they will all slow down consumption rate to near nothing.

[next folio]

my man, its not a permanent solution, js, grind till you get to the petrol era

[hybrid pewter]

@hearty marlin What help u need

[hearty marlin]

what are you even talking about dawg

[sleek halo]

Im frenching u 🇫🇷

[next folio]

fr, biofuel generators are the GOAT before the petrol era

[uneven path]

Coal power is very simple if you literally just read the information the game gives you

[sleek halo]

Cut trees for 5m and then u have 1h of energy

[hybrid pewter]

That's inefficient

[sleek halo]

If u have somersloop even more

[hybrid pewter]

Ada did not scold u ?

[feral jay]

Sloop all the biofuel

[hearty marlin]

thank you, finally someone that can help me, so im doing the 8 by 3 design and the water wont fill up in the generators in the corner, is that how the 8 by 3 works or am i doing something wrong

[uneven path]

Y'know what actually, I refuse to believe this isn't bait 🤣

[sleek halo]

From who?

[next folio]

wdym inefficient, best than 3 hours of js trying to make your coal generators work efficiently

[hearty marlin]

no thank you, i prefer spending 30 minutes on a coal generator and not having to worry about it again

[hybrid pewter]

Are u feeding the water from above the waterinput otherwise it could be troublesome

[feral jay]

Are you keeping in mind that 8 generators require 360 water/min, and that a Mk.1 pipe can only carry 300/min?

[hybrid pewter]

Skill issue here

[uneven path]

From people saying to just skip coal power and keep using biomass.

[hearty marlin]

the tutorial i saw on youtube said this ratio worked on the mk1

[sleek halo]

Yes until you realize u will not have enough coal for steel

[hearty marlin]

3 hours on coal generators 😭 quit the game

[feral jay]

The ratio works, yes, but you still have to design it correctly

[sleek halo]

And then not enough electricity

[uneven path]

There's so much coal in the world dude just use other nodes lmao

[hearty marlin]

coal nodes are endless buddy

[uneven path]

Insane

[hearty marlin]

can i dm you with my design?\

[sleek halo]

Yh endless at 120 or 240/m

[next folio]

Not unlimited output bud

[sleek halo]

At ur level

[feral jay]

!wikisearch coal generator

[raven axle]

https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/index.php?search=coal+generator

[feral jay]

That's the basic three methods

[hearty marlin]

ok, then jump to another node?

[sleek halo]

Whats ur starter zone?

[keen flame]

hello chat

[hearty marlin]

im do9ing the one at the top

[hybrid pewter]

Tbh to not get troubled with water I would just add extra extractor with extra pipe no merging the water and there will be no problem

[keen flame]

finally free time

for satisfactory

[hearty marlin]

grassy fields

[hearty marlin]

its not free time, its a job

[sleek halo]

Yh so not that much coal around here

[wild hollow]

For FICSIT

[hybrid pewter]

Bro what

Do we play the same game there is litelar lake with coal next to it

[keen flame]

be kind

[hybrid pewter]

Like km from spawn

[sleek halo]

Yh i think we play the same game

[next folio]

yea, but he literally just said "jump to another node" like there is one at 30m

[hearty marlin]

hes not being kind

[wild hollow]

I would like the game a lot more if I didn't randomly walk off cliffs by tapping W once

[hearty marlin]

well then go to another area?

[hybrid pewter]

Walk 2 min to next one or harvest biomass

[wild hollow]

I need a better computer or something, but who can afford them these days? D:

[unkempt blade]

it's ok though, you're amazing and talented and good at ignoring rude people

[hearty marlin]

if you are too lazy to build a coal generator far from your base then theres not much i can do to help you

[hybrid pewter]

How will u make aluminum tho

[hearty marlin]

oh?

[hybrid pewter]

Or more steel because u need more

[hearty marlin]

you talking to me?

[hybrid pewter]

Like these are all excuses to me

[hybrid pewter]

Nope

[unkempt blade]

ohndeed

[wild hollow]

What do people use priority mergers for?

[hearty marlin]

exactly, not doing a coal generator is stupid, like instead of making your system automatic, you rather waste your time chopping trees, which also requires a lot more biomass generators because they suck

[hybrid pewter]

And making petrol will take even longer and in the meanwhile they will still be harvesting the biomass every time the grid fails

[wild hollow]

5 minutes of gathering biomass is like 5 hours of powering an entire grid though.

[hybrid pewter]

Depends on how many factories u have

[cunning lily]

Does it make a difference between catwalk or walkway when creating a kennel for Lizard doggos?

[unkempt blade]

I don't really use them. I think they make more sense in a game like factorio

[hearty marlin]

they dont understand the grid is NOT suposed to fail at all

[sleek halo]

Btw is dune: Awakening good?

[wild hollow]

Lasts you until fuel generators at least

[sleek halo]

I see that u played 2 month ago

[wild hollow]

I figured yeah

[hybrid pewter]

15mw of biomass burners

No thanks 💀

[wild hollow]

You can add more 😛

[cunning lily]

Or is a third option for doggos even more reliable?

[hybrid pewter]

More harvesting less time for factory to grow

[wild hollow]

They take up 1/4th of the space of a coal generator you know

[hybrid pewter]

Space was problem u just invented

But then it's all about yalls playstyle I just would not be able to bother myself

[wild hollow]

I don't like using the coal nodes around my base as I need it.

[hearty marlin]

i wouldnt know, too expensive (for what it proposes)

[sleek halo]

2111.4h on the finals bro are u okay?

[hybrid pewter]

😛😛😛

I play on epic satisfactory bought it for 15€

[sleek halo]

Well the worst launcher oat

[hybrid pewter]

Top 1000 if I played ranked maybe top 500

[sleek halo]

Not even worth paying 10 less €

[hearty marlin]

u play the finals?

[hybrid pewter]

Well as a kid it was worth it

[hybrid pewter]

Oh dear and how much ...

[hearty marlin]

yo i love the finals, whats ur main?

[sleek halo]

In 2019 u were a kid

And its js the release date on epic

[hybrid pewter]

Yes I am 19 currently so I was 13

And bough it at around 14-15

I am still kid

[hybrid pewter]

We should go off topic channel for this but light

[wanton iris]

Hi everyone, I need help with the Smart mod. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any help on the official Discord dedicated to this mod, so I'm hoping to find an answer here—it's one of the most popular mods, after all.
My problem is that when I want to use the function that increases or decreases the number of buildings along axes, I do it with the mouse wheel. When I start turning it, the building itself starts rotating along with the Smart mod function. How can I disable building rotation so it works properly?

[elfin smelt]

i use one in my aluminium ingot factory to prioritize using the silica byproduct from the first step so they don't get clogged instead of the quartz-made silica

[unkempt blade]

if you stand on a vehicles and have your friends rotate it then it'll keep buildings facing the same direction as they started

if you don't have friends you might be able to get the same outcome with a recorded route

[hearty marlin]

yo can we play the finals later?

i need a duo

[hybrid pewter]

Not home for weekend

[wanton iris]

I don't quite understand you, you seem to be trying to joke?

[hearty marlin]

ah aight

[feral jay]

Last time I used one it was to slowly fill a packaging loop, so that the loop would reuse empty canisters before taking extra empty canisters from a drone input

[prime basin]

This probably should have been posted in the general Satisfactory Modding discord

[hybrid pewter]

@unkempt blade your name is absolutely on point I did 100% aluminum ingot factory and then I needed copper but didn't want to use trains and knew that carts don't use fuel🔥

[unkempt blade]

I would never joke about something as serious as how to use vehicles to overcome issues with a mod I've never used

[wanton iris]

Ну тогда иди нахуй)

[unkempt blade]

I love you too. Just be careful of the #rules

[earnest dock]

Can you balance geothermal power with batteries ?

[unkempt blade]

if you use at least as much power storage as the average production of the wave you'd have a consistent amount of power available to use

[wild hollow]

Oh yeah, I just used an AWESOME sink to prevent clogging instead, but that makes sense.

[wild hollow]

I see, that makes sense.

[cursive spindle]

is batteries usefull ?

[zealous coral]

not really, unless u want to make supercomputers but there is other recipes that dont use batteries

[wild hollow]

Yes, they are the most effective fuel source that is not also radioactive.

[normal orbit]

not really imo, by the time you can make them, you can just bottle rocketfuel which is better

[normal orbit]

thats just false :p both rocket fuel and ionized are better

[wild hollow]

Oh yeah

[zealous coral]

theyre not even good for drones bro what

[wild hollow]

Wait a sec, I know there was a reason I'd heard that

[zealous coral]

u dont even need batteries for supercomputers if u use alt recipes

[cursive spindle]

i meant power storage

[cursive spindle]

uh.... i dont use alt recipes and supercomputers dont want batteries ?

[normal orbit]

the recipe which uses them is an alt

[zealous coral]

u asked if batteries were helpful, there is a recipe of supercomputers called super state computer

thats the onlty use case i can see for batteries

[cursive spindle]

actualy i mean power storage 😭 just didnt know it name

[zealous coral]

bro😭

[uneven path]

Yes, power storage is useful. Having fail-safes in place can avoid the nasty situation of a large-scale power grid dropping and needing to be cold-started

[normal orbit]

power storages are nice for a lifeline if you accidentally go over your power production

[zealous coral]

the power storage is useful if ur grid goes down it gives u time to fix the problem

[cursive spindle]

so a power storage is 100mw but my factory using 8000mw so should i built 80 ?

[zealous coral]

no

[uneven path]

Priority Power Switches and Power Storage combined help to make a robust power grid

[honest summit]

just making a new base and can someone give me tips on actually building it so its organized like everytime i build it looks bad

[zealous coral]

it discharges over time

[elfin smelt]

the discharge rate of power storage is infinite

[quiet ingot]

Are there mods that support the experimental version?

[elfin smelt]

only the charge rate is 100MW

[cursive spindle]

if somthing use 8000mw but i have 2000mw storaged how its works ?

[zealous coral]

its mwh so if u have 80 and ur place takes 8000 that means ur entire place will last an hour on batteries

[elfin smelt]

iirc

[zealous coral]

divide 8000 by 2000

[cursive spindle]

4?

[zealous coral]

thats how long it lasts iirc

[cursive spindle]

4 minutes ?

[uneven path]

You're better off asking this in the experimental channel or the modding discord, not here

[zealous coral]

2000 by 8000 i think

[cursive spindle]

-4?

[zealous coral]

0.25

u have 25 mins of power in the batteries

[cursive spindle]

yk what i will probabbly need to calculate it with a little system

[normal orbit]

power storages store in mwh not mw

[cursive spindle]

whats that ?

[zealous coral]

since u have 2000mwh and ur factory takes 8000mw u have 25mins of power

[zealous coral]

megawatt hour

[rancid turret]

mwh; how many mw you can supply in one hour

[normal orbit]

so if you have 2000 mwh and a draw fo 8000mw, it lasts for 15 minutes

[zealous coral]

it discharges over time not instantly

[zealous coral]

wait im so dumb lmao 0,25 is a quarter not 25 mins

[cursive spindle]

ye i should test it

[quiet ingot]

which modding discord?

[rancid turret]

it's what actual batteries are measured in; so I have a 99 wh battery that's as big as you can take on a plane legally, and that'll last one hour giving out 99 watts, or two giving out half that

[zealous coral]

divide ur battery mwh by the power consumption and the number is how long it lasts

[uneven path]

There's a satisfactory modding discord, it's been linked here a few times. Do a search and you'll find it.

[rancid turret]

MWh is storage, capacity

[warm remnant]

big spiders spawn freely (outside of caves) in swamp?

[uneven path]

Yep, have fun

[warm remnant]

not reason to go there yet but i might go for aluminium when i get there

Is rifle stronger than nail gun?

i cant make it yet (i mean i can but i cant produce rubber and plastic yet

[zealous coral]

rifle is better at damage but rebar gun has explosive bolts and all

[warm remnant]

they strong? i tried only shatter stun and normal ones

[normal orbit]

diffrent tools for diffrent uses

[zealous coral]

theyre useful and strong, mostly useful. u can blow up them random resource nodes that are blocking ur way or big boulders

[warm remnant]

oh i see so more less ranged explosives

[zealous coral]

u can blow up gas pillars with them

ranbged explosive

[warm remnant]

got gas mask already so no need

[zealous coral]

if u want ot build somewhere its useful

[minor cedar]

guys where can i find some coal sulpher and oil nodes in close proximity

i want to make a turbo fuel power plant

[normal orbit]

blue crater lake

[feral vector]

am I stupid or does this resource scanner not show a lot of nodes? like I was running to some far away quartz and I found quartz on the way that wasn't scanned

[fluid sapphire]

Homing ammo is so convenient I never use anything else

[warm remnant]

mam unlock? which tier

[fluid sapphire]

It's a step from the rifle I think

[warm remnant]

oh its rifle ammo ok then gonna take a look when i get there

[normal orbit]

homing ammo is in the caterium tree

needs high speed connectors research

[fluid sapphire]

Sounds about right

[mellow canyon]

Hear me out: what if we could harvest lighting power into energy

[west jackal]

do you mean solar panels?

although I am for new energy generation methods

like an industrial fuel generator would be nice... isntead of placing 500 OC gens, having a generator that at 100% is equivalent to a 240%fuel gen would be pretty nice

[zealous coral]

No lightning is a thing on the new update

I think he wants like lightning rods

Industrial fuel gen would be a lifesaver

[hardy berry]

How do I see the right hand side of the MAM research?

[west jackal]

then with this you could overclock further, so one industrial fuel generator could be equivalent to something like 6 fuel gens

[mellow canyon]

ye and they will convert it into electricity

[west jackal]

if you had it at 250%

[heavy oxide]

I love the fact that the amount of stuff you can put down is only limited by how powerful your computer is

[hardy berry]

have pic but can't attach

[west jackal]

it could cost like aluminum or rcu or something in t7/t8 for the people making LARGE rocket fuel plants or tfuel

[west jackal]

not neccesarily

[mellow canyon]

also devs said they wont add solar unless community really wants it because it doesnt fit into "Evil corporation that dosent care about planet but about getting resources as fast as possible"

[west jackal]

there is a limit in UE5, you can override that but it becomes unstable

[heavy oxide]

And the materials you have available

Forgot to add

[west jackal]

i was talking about the UE5/stability issues

[elfin smelt]

that's not their main excuse

[west jackal]

if you remove the object limit the engine becomes unstable

[elfin smelt]

green energy would break the game balance

[west jackal]

not if it sucks? but it also wouldnt be exploiting the enviroment

[mellow canyon]

ye this also, too easy to set up

[west jackal]

we need heavier polution

[heavy oxide]

Entire forests are gone in my world because I have a biofuel power plant that outputs 17 GW

[west jackal]

WTF why

[heavy oxide]

Because I can

[west jackal]

forests are gone in my world from nuking them with novelisks

[mellow canyon]

because:
1 I need space fast
2 The forest and my chainsaw is right there

[lapis knot]

I kept the forests but built roads and trains through them so I can disturb nature as much as possible

[heavy oxide]

And some of the biomass goes to fabric production

[west jackal]

no i get that. but they said for 17GW thats what i said WHY about

[mellow canyon]

I managed to trap the bouncy giant near my copper list factory

im gonna check up on him

[elfin smelt]

then theres no reason to add

🤷‍♂️

[heavy oxide]

I still feel like that's rookie numbers

I'll add more biomass burners soon

[elfin smelt]

unless if it's a joke like cyber wagon

[heavy oxide]

About 50 more should be good right? Or maybe 100

[leaden turret]

you can build out more capacity if you start farming creatures

[heavy oxide]

I already do that

[leaden turret]

you can probably build out more capacity if you install the farming mod

[heavy oxide]

The cancer pigs don't scare me, I have a hazmat suit

[west jackal]

17GW is 680 biomass burners. that is bad

soooooooo many

[mellow canyon]

IT breached containment..

[elfin smelt]

how much liquid biofuel would require

[heavy oxide]

Overclock reduces that number by 1/5

[west jackal]

no?

1/2.5

[heavy oxide]

Close enough

[elfin smelt]

I did the math, 1360 per minute

[west jackal]

half of what you said...

[heavy oxide]

I still need more

[west jackal]

its so much

[heavy oxide]

Rookie numbers

[mellow canyon]

You gotta pump those up

[west jackal]

i mean ofc you can do what you want, thats the beauty of the game, but damned if id ever build that many biomass

[normal orbit]

More like 570. 30mw each

[west jackal]

i thought they were 25?

[elfin smelt]

I just checked too, it's 30MW

[normal orbit]

No, the ones in hub are 20 each. Others are 30

[fluid sapphire]

No images on this channel, post it into screenshots, probably something simple

[elfin smelt]

2.4/min burn rate

[heavy oxide]

Overclocking makes the output at 75 MW

Per biomass burner

[fluid sapphire]

Some people like pain

Maybe a little too much for the rest of us

[normal orbit]

Pain so close to pleasure...

[fluid sapphire]

Idk, I can't imagine there being any pleasure with regards to 17GW worth of biomass burners

[west jackal]

hmm oka

[west jackal]

i would agree.

you can get 20GW from 600 crude

THATS ONLY WITH HOR AND DPF alt

you can get way more if you add other things like nitrogen/sulfur. but if its JUST crude and water

you can make 20GW and its autonomous

[fluid sapphire]

Yeah 20gw at that point the game is great

You could finish the game with power made using those two alts

[heavy oxide]

Once I unlock the process to make plutonium I'll use nuclear power because you can sink the plutonium waste

[feral vector]

how come the scanner doesn't show some nodes? I'm right next to quartz lol hmm

[weary gate]

So the update for everyone won’t be out for awhile right?

[reef basin]

it's out on ex already

[little breach]

hey is it possible for me to see all the alternate recipes i already unlocked in one place? i sorta forgot what i unlocked so far. do i just build one of each machine and browse?

[reef basin]

not really in one place, but codex can show recipes

[grave arch]

Do biomass burners self regulate? I have enough power from coal alone and burners still turned on but to doesn't look like they are using any fuel?

[earnest dock]

Do you guys use a warehouse for items used for construction?
Should i send overflow there or fill the warehouse first and then production?

[elfin smelt]

they indeed do

the only fuel generator that only consumes as much as the grid needs

[reef basin]

I produce things directly to storage, not "overflow". Only overflow is from full storage to sink.

The storage is usually just a dimensional depot though

[earnest dock]

Ty

[grave arch]

Oh cool, thank you. for some reason I thought they were "all or nothing" and still burned power even with coal more then providing enough

[vapid zinc]

#screenshots message wth is this pipeline floor hole bug.. Never seen it before, now it happened to 5 of the 16 pipes I placed

[sly vortex]

#screenshots message is that 10 extra screws per minute worth it or should i rescan it?

[reef basin]

items per minute is rarely a good metric to compare. And "worth" depends purely on you. If you don't like either option, just rescan, if you don't know, pick randomly and move on

[sly vortex]

well the other option is basically useless in my opinion

[normal orbit]

its not 10 extra/min :p

[sly vortex]

huh

normal is 40 and that is 50

[reef basin]

it is when considered per machine

[normal orbit]

sure, but if you consider the amount of ore its identical

[sly vortex]

oh

yeah

[reef basin]

many things can be "useless" for your playstyle. There are no really "useless" things in general, but again, if you don't like something, just don't do that/skip it/whatever.

(also, consider asking in a channel where we can write next time, rather than posting it in a separate channel)

[sly vortex]

oh wait this is really good

[sly vortex]

if your talking about the image i just put it there because i couldnt put images in here

[reef basin]

yeah but you can put it in practically every other channel

[sly vortex]

ah i didnt see that

ill do that next time

[reef basin]

(e.g. #math-and-meta or #1038092680493801533 may be useful for that)

[inner ruin]

can the jetpack not use coal?

[frosty sedge]

I don't think so it uses solid biofuel and then the rest of the fuels

[inner ruin]

coal is a fuel

[normal orbit]

no it cannot

[frosty sedge]

I meant normal fuel and above in tiers

[inner ruin]

bruh

useless

[frosty sedge]

It's not a steampunk jetpack bro

[normal orbit]

just package some fuel

[inner ruin]

it gets me a little higher off the floor for a bit..

[normal orbit]

preferbly package some liquid biofuel

[frosty sedge]

Is liquid bio fuel better for jetpack?

[normal orbit]

until the later fuels yes

[frosty sedge]

Is it noticeable as in should i get some

[normal orbit]

very

[frosty sedge]

Kk

[heavy oxide]

I'm almost as bad as letsgameitout

[frosty sedge]

How on earth do u manage that

[heavy oxide]

The spaghetti is horrendous because it's my first world

And the amount of biomass burners is impacting my frame rate

[frosty sedge]

If u got a pic on hand u mind if I see

[heavy oxide]

Not until later when I get home

[frosty sedge]

Kk

[heavy oxide]

I just unlocked nuclear power last night

[frosty sedge]

What why do u have biomass burners

[hollow kernel]

Pardon me for stupid question why can't i jump when starting fresh game

[heavy oxide]

Because I like making unnecessary shit

[frosty sedge]

Fair enough

[tranquil bolt]

What gpu do you have lol

[heavy oxide]

Like a biomass powerplant that outputs 17 GW

[tranquil bolt]

Did you build nuclear yet? Ive got it unlocked but havent done it yet

[heavy oxide]

a380 which is surprising how well it still runs

[frosty sedge]

Jesus Christ

[heavy oxide]

It's going to get worse because I'm going to add more biomass burners and overclock them too

[frosty sedge]

That's like 7 times my entire power grid in just biomass burners

[tranquil bolt]

Are you not doing fuel gens? I quit biomass when i got fuel gens

[heavy oxide]

See what I meant by unnecessary? 12 GW is sitting unused currently

[frosty sedge]

I'm pretty sure he's taking the piss

[frosty sedge]

Yea no I see what u mean

[tranquil bolt]

Wait till you have a particle accelerator running over clocked and sloop’d. Youll pull 18k gw off that alone

[tepid plaza]

anyone know the setting that changes the shadow distance

[hidden sluice]

Are the world maps now randomly generated or is it just the node locations in 1.2?

[reef basin]

neither

[heavy oxide]

I'm building the nuclear power when I unlock plutonium because that waste can be put in the sink for points

[reef basin]

depends on your settings

[hidden sluice]

So same map just different resource densities based on setting?

[normal orbit]

you can't sink plutonium waste

[heavy oxide]

Also the reason that a few forests no longer exist

[frosty sedge]

How do u even power them consistently without grinding 20h a day

[heavy oxide]

Alien protein into a constructor with a somersloop

[frosty sedge]

Impressive u can kill that many

[heavy oxide]

I do a lot of exploring and stuff tries to kill me so I retaliate

[honest summit]

for oil is it better to package it and then bring it over or just whjats the best way?

[honest summit]

^ or do i place all my oil generators just at the oil place

[heavy oxide]

I have nobelisks and weapon ammo automated and fed into dimensional depots

Probably overkill but I don't care

[wild hollow]

Hmm, why do my tractors pause at the stations until I get in and out of them? I've recorded a path and I just saw the tractor drive the entire path with no issues. Except it stops indefinitely at each station until I jump in and out.

Is it because I currently have no fuel input from the stations?

[heavy oxide]

How do you set up the fluid truck

[normal orbit]

same way any other truck, just use fluid statoins

[heavy oxide]

Which one is the fluid station though?

I'll figure it out tonight

[normal orbit]

the one called fluid station

[heavy oxide]

I only have the fluid train station

[tall lantern]

to check the obvious: are you on experimental

given this isn't the #satisfactory-experimental channel

[heavy oxide]

I'm dumb no

I forgot about that

[placid totem]

the satisfactory reddit notifications i been getting are funny af ngl

[real shale]

You are funny

[stray sequoia]

I'm kinda curious if anyone else considers this to be useful or if it's just silly. I was wondering today, how reasonable would it be to want a outlet for the storage chest on the blueprint designer? This would allow us to hook it back into the system, auto upload or recycle as needed. Please feel free to tell me I'm dumb if this is super silly, it was a thought that crossed my mind when I checked the chest to make sure it wasn't full just now

[past spoke]

do yall know if u can reverse the direction of already placed vehicle paths?

[next ivy]

decided to go from RHD to LHD ? XD

[restive jetty]

Hey y’all, looking for some help in my save, if you’re looking for details I have a post in the looking for a group tab

[reef basin]

no need to post here then 🙂

[restive jetty]

True, but not everyone looks on that section 🙂

[reef basin]

people that are relevant to you look into that section 🙂

[stray sequoia]

For the 1.1 paths, I don't believe you can do much modifying at all without fully re-recording. I know you can delete individual nodes and adjust timers, but otherwise they're fairly limited. Apologies as I don't know about 1.2 Experimental yet, just covering bases.

[tall lantern]

the ones who are looking for group will be looking at looking for group 😛

[reef basin]

people that don't wanna play don't look there 🙂

[peak wasp]

hey is there a way to turn off the tractor being highlighted

[serene thunder]

how do i unlock the ability to connect cables between smelters and constructors, like in the video, without extra poles

[stray sequoia]

Requires 1.2 experimental update, and it's in the MAM Caterium tree

[normal orbit]

go into dismantle mode and just hover over it

[serene thunder]

ahhh, thank you

[wise junco]

don't tell me how to live my life

[inner ruin]

arent you telling someone how to live their life by telling them not how to live yours?

[wise junco]

👀

listen here buddy, don't make me tell you how to live your life

[peak wasp]

legend tty

[feral jay]

Building rail spirals is so much fun...

[wise junco]

it is?

[reef basin]

building ramps is funner

[hearty marlin]

is there a mod to unlock the map completely?

[reef basin]

wdym "unlock"?

[normal orbit]

scim does it

reveals whole map if thats what you mean

or you can just build some radar towers evenly spaced

[weak bloom]

turbo motor is my new most hated item

(non-space elevator part, at least)

[hearty marlin]

i dont think i got to that part of the game yet, should i wait?

[normal orbit]

they in the quartz tree of the mam

can make them in... phase 3 iirc

[hearty marlin]

im in phase 1

just unlocked coal

[earnest dock]

Good job
You deserve a micro break

[bitter silo]

istg, trying my best NOT to spaghetti betty my conveyors but its so hard to keep everything tidy but also bring things around the map. UGH

[next ivy]

micro break is over

[wise junco]

this gets easier the later in the game you are

[elfin idol]

what node randomization would people recommend? is there one that is most similar to the default ratios?

[flint trench]

yoo guys there is a inf speed boost if you sprint and slide jump

[elfin idol]

but just randomized locations

[normal orbit]

random seems to maintain the number of nodes of each type just randomized locations

[elfin idol]

oh okay cool

thanks!

[feral jay]

Working on building out to the red forest tonigh, that place is tough to get rails into dammit

[normal orbit]

i usually do a small loop thru red forest, and just "connect" it to the main train line below with lifts

[feral jay]

I build my rails on the ground, so it's always two or three rail spirals to get into it

[normal orbit]

i mean conveyor lifts :p made an unloading station up top then send em down to a loading station below

[bitter silo]

finished phase 3. Just unlocked hoverpack/hazmat etc. But its still so horrible to keep tidy ahah

[zealous coral]

show ur facotry😭

[bitter silo]

what part haha. im tryna make a turbofuel factory rn, but gotta bring sulfur from the other side of the map, and then the coal near it is gonna have to be on conveyors. Its gonna look so messy 😢

[wise junco]

let me share a little blueprint i made to help tidy up "regional" conveyors

#screenshots message

I have a pipeline blueprint similar to this. this was made to stack on top of it. the base layer has supports that can be zooped to the ground level

makes it look contained, you can carry power with it through the supports, etc

[bitter silo]

ngl might have to do smth like that tbh

[wise junco]

lemme show you where i used it (rocket fuel factory)

[fluid sapphire]

Time to start learning how to use trains

[bitter silo]

i am using them, but theyre either close enough to not need trains or too far enough to look messy with conveyors lmao

[fluid sapphire]

I confuse

[bitter silo]

how....

[fluid sapphire]

What's that second part mean

Ah, nvm I got it

How far is the coal

[earnest dock]

Is that a frame from the shop? )

[bitter silo]

couple hundred meters for coal. and sulfur across the map. sulfur has train. but its so annoying

[fluid sapphire]

Looks like beams, beam connectors and 1m foundations

[wise junco]

whatcha mean?

OH, yes, INSANE nailed it

[old grail]

do yall build some kind of highway thats just waiting to be used or you rather build up communication routes along with progressing with the game?

[feral vector]

Man I said I would just play for a bit then eat breakfast and now it's 4pm wtf is this game

[normal orbit]

making a highway can be a lot of work initially, but the amount you save later when you need to expand and make new factories is well worth it imo

[feral vector]

Highway as in building a foundation path instead of just throwing random conveyor belts and power poles all over the place or what

[elfin idol]

are the visuals improved in the new experimental patch? my fps is definitely lower on the same settings

not like horribly but its noticable

the visuals are looking clean tho

[minor cedar]

guys do the railway blueprints that i ve made connect when i use blueprint mode to connect them or do i have to use blueprint (Auto Connect) to connect them

[elfin idol]

oh they changed the xenozapper animation

looks clean

[normal orbit]

#screenshots message train highways

[elfin idol]

sounds nicer too

[abstract thunder]

Are the servers on console down?

[elfin idol]

ive got random nodes but somehow theres 6 normal iron nodes within like 90m on grassy fields?

wtf

i wonder if the seed i put (676767676) is bugged or something 😭

[normal orbit]

the game doesnt currently take seeds

it just gives you a random one atm

[inner ruin]

does the hypertube junction only ever go left

[normal orbit]

no

just rotate it

[inner ruin]

wdym

[minor cedar]

damn nice highways

[spare prism]

How do I open the to do list

[inner ruin]

so i cant change it while traveling?

[normal orbit]

you shoul dget a prompt to change direction

thought you mean building it

[inner ruin]

i get the blue things showing me where itll take me and its always left. idk how to go right

[unkempt blade]

it's the anti-zoolander 🙁

[inner ruin]

what

[elfin idol]

nah why is every single node iron what is going on

[unkempt blade]

zoolander can't turn left, it's how he expresses his childhood trauma

[inner ruin]

oh its E to change directions

[inner ruin]

tf are you on

[unkempt blade]

educating you about classic cinema it appears

[inner ruin]

back to what we are talking about..

[elfin idol]

im gonna reset i think its bugged out for some reason maybe cuz i tried to put a seed

[inner ruin]

its E to turn left i thought itd just be A and D

[unkempt blade]

depends on your keybindings, unlike zoolander

[inner ruin]

im so glad discord added the ignore feature

[unkempt blade]

hypertubes made this guy such a grouch 🙁

[reef basin]

what's the difference between block and ignore? 🤔

[inner ruin]

block now acts as a kind of "completely leave me alone", they cant even see what servers youre in

ignore is the old block

[unkempt blade]

all I know is ignore keeps me from reacting with the screw emoji to things 🙁

[crystal yoke]

is there an mod that allows the 4 slots machine to act like an 2 slots machine if needed?
like, i wanna be able to make powder (uses 2 items)
in the machine that has 4 slots

[white dawn]

Check the mods database; easy enough to search

Recipe mods are, I believe, quite easy. So if there's not one already you could probably just whip your own up to have the recipes you want

[inner ruin]

these transport pipes are so much fun

HHTP

[normal orbit]

put several entraces in series :p

[inner ruin]

welp my tractor became obsolete. sorry ol gal

trust me to forget what i was doing before i was playing with these pipes..

oh yeah.. i wasnt doing anything

[crystal yoke]

fair

[spare prism]

weird is your can ignore people but still be there friend

[fluid sapphire]

In-game notes feature helps a lot

[empty spoke]

guys is the alt recipes reddit post still up to date to consider?

i mean its been 2 years

[fluid sapphire]

What, some kind of tier list? You can safely ignore those

[empty spoke]

oh ive been following them the whole time

but yea ive seen some tier list with nitro rocket fuel on C tier like huhh??

[fluid sapphire]

Yeah bro, that's a banger recipe if you want to trade some resource efficiency for simplicity

Tier lists are silly

[normal orbit]

any tier list will be based on the opinions of the person making it. i've tier lists from people who can't even math

[fluid sapphire]

Decide for yourself

[wise junco]

in satisfactory, you typically have two choices with recipes:

simplicity
efficiency

you rarely have both. decide which one matters the most to you and your circumstance

[normal orbit]

i've saw one tier list claim the alts for nuclear power were F tier cause they made too much power lol

[inner ruin]

the part next to the picture on the right?

[golden nexus]

power, space, complexity, resource required

[real shale]

Aaaaaaa

[fluid sapphire]

Yes

[inner ruin]

how can you have too much power

[fluid sapphire]

You can't

[unkempt blade]

by building more than you'll use

[wise junco]

KETO FRIENDLY?!

[keen flame]

playing satisfactory while taking a break from satisfactory, bla bla

[real shale]

The banana of medicinal and the MOON

[wise junco]

HEWWO

[fluid sapphire]

It's not like it spoils, you just have to start building power storage to hoard it

[empty spoke]

ive skipped all nuclear recipes cuz they were in F tier...

[wise junco]

three best friends

[inner ruin]

kinda learned alot from playing this game

[keen flame]

me?!?

[wise junco]

you!

[unkempt blade]

ya, no carbs, no sugar, just keto-friendly metals and faux leather upholstery

[inner ruin]

for example how shit i am at logistics

[keen flame]

i just got here what‘s happening

[viral oak]

where is the highest point in the entire map at?

[real shale]

You've been selected for the trial

[keen flame]

what trial

what do i do whats the reward

[real shale]

Idk I didn't get this far

[keen flame]

oh ok

[keen flame]

you can very probably google this

[bitter silo]

pretty sure north right at the edge of the map. where there is a uranium deposit

[keen flame]

some guy on reddit prolly posted an image of it in 200 bc

[keen flame]

yes and a purple slug

[unkempt blade]

yeah you don't have to use it all right then, but if you're doing one of those "use all the oil on the map" factories or whatever and then your save only uses 30% of the power.... a good example of how you can have too much

[empty spoke]

im so annoyed by this damn weird world border shape

[normal orbit]

was it "whaa nuclear too hard" f-tier? :p

[bitter silo]

i only found it cuz i made a cannon and it shot me too far haha

[empty spoke]

my base is a damn triangular cuz of that

[keen flame]

lol

@real shale how are you gal??

[real shale]

I am uh pain, Ive gone 24 hours without factory

[keen flame]

did you build at the world border??

[real shale]

The urge is kicking in

[wise junco]

Must factory!!

[keen flame]

💔

[empty spoke]

yea..

[keen flame]

i‘ve gone like 5 mins without it as of right now

[empty spoke]

i even chose the worst world border..

[wise junco]

Must factory?

[keen flame]

yeah, time to get back

[empty spoke]

ngl its yall fault tho

[keen flame]

i‘ve to upgrade my conveyors anyway

[keen flame]

what

i doubt someone told you to do that

[unkempt blade]

you should build a factory cart skatepark just to take the edge off it

[normal orbit]

prob why its our fault, didnt tell him how to play :p

[keen flame]

right that was my 2nd guess

[bitter silo]

i done this at one point by deleting them then placing. until i accidentally found out you can just "hold" the one you wanna upgrade to, hover over existing conveyor, and build. auto replace. never new it haha

[empty spoke]

yall told me best spot for megafactory is dune desert, but in my question was "over water" involved which lead me to the rightest part of the dune desert, which is a tiny damn ocean with half of it being world border, and even worse, the weirdest shape of world border ive ever seen

it looks so much bigger on the map..

[robust wigeon]

What if we got a new power pole type that has a super short range but can support like 32 connections?

[unkempt blade]

there's a pretty good amount of ocean you can build on around the north and west sides of the map

[normal orbit]

why does it need to be over water?

[empty spoke]

the space will be most likely sufficient, its just annoying to build with the shape of the world border thats all

[unkempt blade]

think those are all a bit broader before you hit where the land drops off

[empty spoke]

didnt wanna bother with terrain

[normal orbit]

so build above the terrain?

[worn hornet]

does anyone know why my nuclear plant doesn’t turn on until i go there? anytime i open my game my power capacity is almost 40K MW lower until i go there and check it out

[normal orbit]

prob not working properly and the distance has nothing to do with how well it runs

[golden nexus]

do you have any trucks, tractors in the supply lines?

[wispy tundra]

did anyone ever encountered a bug where you build a blueprint but when you choose the BP in the menu it gets loaded in the blueprint designer instead, even if you're far away from it?

[normal orbit]

yea, delete the designer

[wispy tundra]

argh I see

[normal orbit]

build it somewhere else

[wispy tundra]

what behavior causes it? is it known?

[normal orbit]

dunno

i've seen it twice only out of thousands of times

[inner ruin]

does the AI eventually run out of cocky comments to make when u die? it never says anything anymore

[elfin idol]

they removed the ability to mine and craft at the same time

🥲

cant believe they would encourage more automation in the automation game

[hollow spruce]

did they add new songs to the soundtrack

i swear ive never heard of some of these

[inner ruin]

Ficsit hopes these new soundtracks help motivate you into providing us.. and the rest of earth.. with more resources for us to use

[half vortex]

Hi, I'm new in Satisfactory,
any recommendation?

[golden nexus]

build more factory

[inner ruin]

factory more build

[bitter silo]

factory must grow

[golden nexus]

You get rewarded for solving problems correctly and also being vertical

[unborn moss]

Enjoy the game with fresh eyes instead of spoilering everything in the Discord from those with 1000s of hours!

[golden nexus]

automate first, unlock 2nd is the best thing to do tbh

[latent prawn]

getting through stage 1 of the elevator allows you to completely automate power and start roaming away from your home base more freely. A major component of the game is exploration and gathering what you find to research. Making early efforts to do so pays off.

[golden nexus]

yeah a good bit of advice would actually be close discord

[minor cedar]

so lesson learned do not use blue prints and railways they dont like each other

[latent prawn]

another good tip for new players: think bigger. the world is huge and so will your factories become. Trying to build everything in one little corner of the world isn't a very good way to be

[obsidian hound]

anyone else having mad stutters since the update?

[latent prawn]

I occasionally am seeing a bit, but i think it is tied to the shaders recompiling

[normal orbit]

Nope. 1.2 came with a decent performance boost

[obsidian hound]

ever since 1.2 my 1%lows are ridic

[latent prawn]

probably the rain

[normal orbit]

Or fsr bug

[abstract girder]

#screenshots message

I still haven't been able to build a phase 3 version of this type of factory in 1-2 weeks, but this guy did it in 2 seconds. I'm jealous.😭

AND MY GOD HE DID IT IN MODELER

[golden nexus]

If its any help we did SE parts to 100x in 2-3 days 😛 taking us to phase 3 and we have almost all factories built ot do phase 3 😛

[supple canopy]

uuh guys I have one alt recipe left to unlock but I can't use a hard drive? Tells me there's no reward

[real shale]

Could be one relating to a MAM research unlock

[supple canopy]

I have yet to unlock T9 spacial energy reg and blueprints MK3, none of which unlocks new alts

[reef basin]

you might not have the prerequisite

[supple canopy]

I think the only things I have to unlock in the MAM are turbofuel ammo, nukes, and alien matrix

[reef basin]

which recipe are you missing

[supple canopy]

dark ion fuel (which is shit, but i find it odd that i can't research it)

and I do have ionized fuel unlocked

aaah perharps I have to finish the sulfur tree

[real shale]

Dark ion requires quantum encoding + ionised fuel research

[strong coyote]

Hard mode: turn a tv into your monitor then play with a cat in your face

[keen flame]

that level of the game looks and sounds so cool

like all the dark matter and quantum shit

[reef basin]

fyi we just finished updating wiki with new info for 1.2, which also included fix for unlock requirements

dark ion fuel needs T9 quantum encoding

[supple canopy]

thanks a bunch for your community work

yea I do have that unlocked, the wiki also says it needs MAM sulfur tree, which I don't have fully completed

[latent prawn]

has the recipe for dark ion fuel changed to make it any more favorable to use?

[reef basin]

well it says it needs ionized fuel in MAM tree

[reef basin]

depends on what "favorable" means to you 😛

[latent prawn]

not seeming like it is 2x as expensive of a recipe as it actually is? lol

[cedar iris]

rarely I hear a couple specific songs play

[latent prawn]

imho, it kinda seems like when they laid out the numbers for that recipe, they didn't realize that rocket fuel packaged is 2:1

[latent prawn]

there's at least one new boombox tape, that's as far as i've gotten in looking around though

[reef basin]

but doesn't require shards

[worn hornet]

no

[real shale]

Ur cool

[empty spoke]

is it just me or is there barely any sulfur on the map?

[latent prawn]

yeah, but kind of the entire point of ion fuel is to provide a sink for shards

[reef basin]

eh, being an upgrade to RF is also a point of IF

[river cosmos]

hi guys im new to satisfactory and im really enjoying the game but i like playing in mp and my buddy isnt on
is anyone willing to add me on steam and help me with expansion? im on phase 2 rn

[reef basin]

#1201555265942724758

[river cosmos]

oh thx

[cobalt plinth]

well shit, I can't find my personal storage containers, have no idea where i put them

[rough shore]

how does that happen

[hearty flame]

chat what do electromagnetic control rods do/ used for? ive not unlocked them, but im making them

[rough shore]

idk what those are but how do u make smth u didnt unlock

[ornate saffron]

they are used for some end game items and Fuel rods

[golden nexus]

nuclear

[hearty flame]

blueprints

[golden nexus]

then entire game will probably be borked by bypassing things in this way, but thats up to you

[rough shore]

huh?

blueprints just copy and paste things u built no?

[ornate saffron]

you can DL them too on pc

[golden nexus]

if you download and install blueprints in the save oflder, you can creat machines / reipcies you have not unlocked

[hearty flame]

you can up,oad other peoples blueprints

[golden nexus]

this of coruse kinda ruins the game progression

[rough shore]

basically creative mode

[hearty flame]

thats the only thing i havdnt unlocked yet

[supple canopy]

I had it researched, but after completing the tree it now works. I had turbo rifle ammo and nuke nobelisk

[hearty flame]

i needa just do phase 3 unlock

[golden nexus]

you can also see how it ruined game progression because somebody is now asking "What does this do?" since ti would have been part of the nuclear unlocks

[hearty flame]

and i have abt 500 of the control rods

[hearty flame]

ah, lol

[rough shore]

particle accelerators before space elevator

[golden nexus]

Tier 1 Nuclear power 😛

[keen flame]

no you

[hearty flame]

idk why it was apart of the "low tier" production blueprints then

if its nuclear

[golden nexus]

what tier are you?

[hearty flame]

needa unlock 7+

and ive fully done 1-6

[golden nexus]

yeah but its a one click to win blueprint set....

it doesn't mean anything, its like you might as well just play creative mode

[supple canopy]

ok yea no it's weird because the reason I found it suspicious is because on the previous hard drive, I get to choose between oil-based diamond or dark-ion fuel. So I have the prerequisite

[keen flame]

the packager fluid input is at the top instead of bottom just for the reason of making the game sliiightly more tedious and its pmo

[supple canopy]

then if I choose oil-based diamond, I can't reput a hard drive. Unless I research turbo rifle ammo, in which case I can research the hard drive

[hearty flame]

well... its 5, and i have to connect them all tg but oh well

[supple canopy]

no, it's because lorewise, inside the machine just dumps the fluid it in the container, no pumps needed

[tepid ferry]

i havent played satisfactory game yet and dont have any friends thats intrested in the game. is the game worth it if i only play solo?

[supple canopy]

I have 2200 hours solo

definitly worth it

[golden nexus]

yes, but since this is an echo chamber you will almost always get yes as the answer

[tepid ferry]

are you insane?

[supple canopy]

it's a crowded echo chamber

[supple canopy]

yes

[golden nexus]

yeah but what i mean is like people who hate rock music, don't generally go to the rock bar to hang out....

so you only find people who like rock music in the rock bar typically....

[tepid ferry]

is it hard to get into?

[supple canopy]

true

[golden nexus]

do you play any other factory games?

[tepid ferry]

nop

[golden nexus]

well i guess this will be your first then

[supple canopy]

not at all, the beginning is really hooking, however the progressing curve can be intimidating to some. Burn outs are not unheard of

[golden nexus]

its easy to get into, it is a problem solving game,

you can go at your own pace etc.. etc..

[wise junco]

Satisfactory helps cure my depression

[lime kraken]

Is there a location for future announced updates?

[golden nexus]

#announcements ?

[hollow holly]

I mean phase 1 and onboardong is pretty easy to get into.

[tepid ferry]

fuck it goin for it

[golden nexus]

don't skip onboarding is all i will tell you 😉

[supple canopy]

if you ever encounter a logistics problem (you will), remember this is a sandbox game and you can do whatever the fuck you want

[grizzled shard]

Are the pure alternate recipes worth it

[hollow holly]

Like pure iron ingot and stuff?

[grizzled shard]

Yeah

[tall lantern]

they add complexity, power usage, space, extra resources (water) and machines, but in exchange get you a lot more ingot from your iron

is that worth it? depends on if you need that extra output vs just getting more iron ore, if you have water nearby to use for it, and if you want to deal with that extra stuff

[hollow holly]

From my experience i like to use them alot since its take reduce ur iron and i dont mind using water.

[tall lantern]

in terms of raw resources yes it's a good deal, since water's practically unlimited and it saves iron ore

[golden nexus]

it depends

[tall lantern]

you'll get sick of refineries real fast if you use it everywhere though lol

[grizzled shard]

I see

[golden nexus]

like most players are NOT going to use even a fraction of the iron nodes on the map

like map has 92,100/min iron ore 😛

[hearty marlin]

is there such a thing as removing the color of an object or do i have to rebuild the wall?

[hollow holly]

I mean you can always use the default swatch on the wall. To repaint it to its default color.

[wild hollow]

True, but there's space between the nodes, which is where the real decisionmaking comes in. You're only really limited by time investment. Building logistics between nodes takes time, so maximizing output in one area actually is a good strategy. Again, if the extra complexity doesn't hold you back. 😛

[hearty marlin]

does that work on concrete?
